Frequently Asked Questions
The chart shows how the bond price changes with different interest rates. The steeper the curve, the more sensitive the bond is to interest rate changes. This sensitivity is measured by duration, which is calculated and displayed in the app.
Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's price to interest rate changes. It represents the weighted average time to receive the bond's cash flows. The higher the duration, the more sensitive the bond price is to interest rate changes.
In Bond Sim, the required rate represents the yield to maturity. You can adjust this value to see how different yields affect the bond price.
When interest rates rise, newly issued bonds come with higher coupon rates, making existing bonds with lower rates less attractive. This causes the market value (price) of existing bonds to fall.
Currently, Bond Sim does not support exporting calculations. This feature is under consideration for future updates.
